He is a retired engineering professor and dedicated his time to the fermentation of Pu-erh tea. This ripe Pu-erh was fermented for 20 days under controlled temperature and humidity, a method different from the traditional one that consists in piling huge amount of leaves and letting them generate their own heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince we've explored the Mengku region recently, it was relevant to see how this material would turn out after a fermentation step. Luckily, Mr Shi had just fermented two batches from Na Jiao, a village located on the Eastern Mountain of Mengku, right next to Ba Nuo village.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin: 0pxpx 0pxpx 0pxpx 0pxpx; float: none;\" alt=\"na jiao localization\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1318\/5761\/files\/najiao_1024x1024.jpg?v=1606405016\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe used identical parameters for the fermentation of two teas, made by the same producer, one from Spring, the other from Autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the Autumn version, the leaves have a lighter color than its Spring counterpart despite using the same parameters for fermentation. The soup has a lighter texture than the Spring version, the fragrance is more lively. The difference in tasting profile is very interesting and calls for a side by side brewing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin: 0pxpx 0pxpx 0pxpx 0pxpx; float: none;\" alt=\"ripe pu-erh from najiao\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1318\/5761\/files\/najiao_spring_e1484e7d-aae8-4f17-8ad8-f1173cfe6241_1024x1024.jpg?v=1606405495\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Farmerleaf","offers":[{"title":"100g pouch","offer_id":37667290644667,"sku":"20年 秋 那焦 熟茶 100克","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"20g sample","offer_id":37667290677435,"sku":"20年 秋 那焦 熟茶 20克","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1318\/5761\/products\/MG_7428.jpg?v=1606405389","url":"https:\/\/farmerleaf.live\/products\/autumn-najiao-ripe-micro-batch","provider":"Farmerleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
